A new film called “Travels” began shooting this week in Moscow. Directed by Vladimir Kharchenko-Kulikovsky, it will tell the story of a group of acting students and how they all cope with life after their studies. Oksana Mysina will play one of the graduates, a „crazy” actress who sells her apartment to build her own theater. The film is being made for television. There is no information on its release date yet.

Oksana Mysina's rock band Oxy Rocks will perform at the Ogurets club near the Polyanka metro station on Thursday, March 29 at 9 o'clock. As at all Oxy Rocks concerts, the band's new album “Blues-Rock Mood” will be available for purchase.

At the Nika awards ceremony on Friday, March 23, Oksana Mysina will join Yevgenia Kryukova and Natalia Shchukina to sing a song specially for Eldar Ryazanov, who is being given a Lifetime Achievement award.

Nadezhda Ptushkina began shooting her latest movie on March 16. It is an adaptation of her play, “Bravo, Laurencia!“ and is a feature film being made for television. It stars Oksana Mysina and Pyotr Barancheev in the lead roles of a wife and husband whose family happiness is threatened when their first child is born. The film also features Larisa Luppian and Lidia Savchenko. This will be the first time that Mysina and Savchenko have worked together since they performed in „Kitchen,” Oleg Menshikov's production of Maxim Kurochkin's play.

Oksana Mysina's production of “Ariston” plays Monday, March 19 at 7 p.m. at the ApARTe Theater. The scheduled performance of “Quixote and Sancho” will not take place due to an actor's illness. It will next be performed April 17.

As she does every year, Oksana Mysina has turned her birthday on March 15 into a working holiday. At 8 p.m. she will perform in Kama Ginkas's “K. I. from'Crime'” at the Theater Yunogo Zritelya. And then, for fun, she will give a concert with her band Oxy Rocks at one of her favorite clubs in Moscow — Kitaisky Lyotchik Dzhao Da. Come and join the festivities!

“Quixote and Sancho,” starring Alexei Zuyev and Oksana, plays March 20 at 7 p.m. at the ApARTe Theater.

Oksana Mysina and her band Oxy Rocks were flattered to learn that in less than a month after the release of their new album, „Blues-Rock Mood,” pirate copies began appearing around Moscow. Please note that if you want to acquire the real thing, you need to come to the band's concerts where the CD is always available. In the near future there are concerts at Kitaisky Lyotchik Dzhao Da (March 15) and Ogurets (March 29). Information about April concerts will follow soon.

Oksana Mysina will celebrate the March 8 holiday with her band Oxy Rocks and everyone who attends their concert at the great new Rock'n' Roll Pub. The concert begins at 9 p.m. and Oxy Rocks' new album, “Blues-Rock Mood,” will be available after the performance ends. The Rock'n' Roll Pub is located at Ulitsa Mel'nikova 7. Metro Proletarskaya. Tel. 675-9146. Happy holiday and we look forward to seeing you there!

It is our great pleasure to announce that both films which Oksana Mysina accompanied to the 13th annual Russian Festival of Literature and Film in Gatchina were awarded prizes. Galina Yevtushenko's “They Preserve So Much that is Dear,“ a documentary about Nikolai Erdman and Angelina Stepanova in which Oksana was the voice of Stepanova, was awarded the Reader's Jury Prize. Eldar Ryazanov's „Andersen,” in which Oksana played Hans Christian Andersen's mother, took the festival's grand prize, the Pomegranate Bracelet.
